# Zoo Data Processing Note

## Overview
This document tracks the initial processing of raw data files added to the `7-national-park-zoo` directory. Following the methodology of "Discovery → Understanding → Prototype → Regulation → Standardization → Automation", the newly discovered raw data has been parsed and sorted to prepare for further analysis and prototyping.

## Files Processed
1. **2025 RIYADH ZOO GENERAL DATA.xlsx**
   - Moved to `unclean_data/2025_RIYADH_ZOO_GENERAL_DATA.xlsx` for preservation.
   - Sheets were cleaned (empty rows/columns removed, headers standardized) and converted to CSVs.
   - Distributed into the following corresponding `clean_data` folders based on topic:
     - **Enclosure / Enclosure Metadata / Enclosure Standard**: Placed in `zoo-operations/phase-1-discovery/clean_data/`.
     - **Staff Data**: Placed in `zoo-operations/phase-1-discovery/clean_data/`.
     - **Monthly Inventory (Jan-Oct)**: Placed in `zoo-operations/phase-1-discovery/clean_data/monthly_inventory/`.
     - **Observation Report / Breeding Record / Health**: Placed in `veterinary-care/phase-1-discovery/clean_data/`.
     - **Enrichment**: Placed in `nutrition-dietary/phase-1-discovery/clean_data/`.

2. **Riyadh Zoo Animal Collection Inventory as of March 2026-clean.xlsx**
   - Moved to `clean_data/2026_Animal_Collection_Inventory_Clean.xlsx` as it is already a finalized/clean list.

## Next Steps
- Validate the new data structures within the `clean_data` CSVs.
- Enhance the prototype found in `prtototype` to integrate the schema insights from these datasets.
